German police arrested two men in Berlin Tuesday accused of spying on opponents of the Syrian regime in raids involving some 70 officers, federal prosecutors said.

The suspects were identified only as 47-year-old German-Lebanese citizen Mahmoud El A. and 34-year-old Syrian national Akram O., the federal prosecutor's office said in a statement.

"They are strongly suspected of regularly spying on Syrian opposition figures in Germany for the Syrian intelligence service for several years," it said.

The prosecutor's office said around 70 federal and state police officers searched their homes and those of another six suspects.

The two suspects taken into custody will appear before a judge Wednesday who will present them with the arrest warrants dating from January 31.

Speak for yourself tony. Bachir was never zionist. No real lebanese regardless of political affiliation would claim to be zionist, except those few who really really hate muslims and want to annoy them by this without realizing that zionism is anti both islam and christianity. Your probably a jew pretending to be lebanese. Whatever. To hell with you.
